The things we take for granted: democracy is not too important to young Swedes today.

Democracy not so important for young.
The new World Values Study reveals that democracy is not too important to young Swedes today. More than one of four (26%) believes it would be “good or quite good” if Sweden were undemocratic and ruled by a strong, dictatorial leader. The study polled 1208 randomly picked Swedish citizens, and it also shows that young Swedes are willing to sell their democratic freedom and rights. All of 21% among the 18-29 year olds say they are willing to change party affiliation for a smaller amount of money. The news is particularly worrisome, as people in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Syria fight and die for the right to vote and for democracy.
